David R. Zalar, 79, of Jefferson, went home with the Lord on August 2,
2014.

He was the loving husband of Georgia (Zealley) for 55 years; proud
father of Tony, Stephanie (Brett) Boyd and Sara Sobrofski; and
“Grampers” of Corinne and Elise Boyd and Ally and Ben Sobrofski.

Dave lived his life by these three priorities — God, family, country. He
was a devout follower of Christ, loving family man, and proud, proud,
American patriot.

After serving in the Air Force with a year in Korea, Dave attended MSOE
on the GI Bill, for which he was always grateful. An electrical
engineer, Dave worked for Cutler-Hammer, Louis Allis, and retired from
Delco Electronics (General Motors) in 1996.

Dave and Georgia lived in Wales for 34 years. During that time, he was a
volunteer EMT, coached soccer and baseball, and was a Boy Scouts and 4-H
leader.

Dave was often seen running through Wales, and was especially known for
having a front yard full of wild flowers. After retirement, he found new
hobbies in water color painting and stained glass projects.

The Wales dragon stained glass piece he made still hangs in the Wales
Village Hall. In his heart Wales was always home.

A gathering for visiting and sharing memories will be held from 1:00 to
2:00 p.m. at the First Assembly of God Church in Waukesha. A celebration
of life service will be held at 2:00 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, memorials are appreciated to Wisconsin Honor Flights
for Veterans or the Wounded Warriors Project.
